Goblin Heavy Dependence

Chapter 57 Refreshing
"Jingle Bell!"

A quick bell rang in the night.

The wooden bowl fell to the ground, and the half-finished orange stew splashed onto the meadow.

hum-

Along with the sharp sound of sword being drawn, a cold iron-gray light flashed in the air for a moment.

The next second, the beheading sword was already in Xia Nan's hand.

Beside him, Alton reacted just as quickly.

He was smiling and sharing stories about his hometown with Xia Nan just now, but the moment the bell rang, his expression suddenly froze.

The two calves almost stepped out of the shadows.

In a flash, he had already jumped onto the top of the carriage on the side of the road.

While looking in the direction where the sound came from, a mini and exquisite lute appeared in his hand.

Halflings are cheerful, enthusiastic and lively, but that doesn't mean they are fools who allow themselves to be bullied.

With a strong sense of responsibility, these little guys often display courage and determination far beyond their stature when defending their friends, relatives and villages.

Their compact size also gives them extraordinary agility and stealth capabilities similar to those of a rogue.

In fact, a lightfoot halfling can be allowed to break away from the extended family of the community and travel as an adventurer.

This has already proved Alton's ability.

The reactions of the other adventurers around were not much different.

There was a sound of pots and pans colliding and falling to the ground. In just a few seconds, the guards had grasped their weapons and took their positions according to the formation arranged in advance.

It was not until this time, when all the adventurers were ready for battle, that noisy sounds were heard from the camp of the other convoy.

"Goblins, 23, no subspecies found."

Quickly adjusting the strings of his harp, the halfling calmly and accurately reported his findings to everyone.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Nan felt the tense adventurers around him visibly relieved.

"It's okay, it's just a goblin."

Come to think of it, at a location as close to the town as this, the only ones who would dare to actively attack the human convoy would be these brainless green-skinned bastards, except for some monsters that have lost the ability to sense threats due to being too hungry.

"Kerry, Wilson, get ready!"

In the team, the guard who looked like the leader shouted loudly to the two adventurers with longbows on their backs.

The action is very fast and it seems that they have cooperated many times before.

The two archers used their hands and feet to quickly climb onto the carriage that had been placed on the roadside in advance and occupied the commanding heights.

Then he aimed at the goblins that were rushing towards him in the dark.

Bend the bow and nock the arrow.

"call out!"

The wooden arrow with tail feathers turned into a thin and blurry outline and disappeared into the darkness.

Two dark shadows fell to the ground.

"continue!"

The adventurer continued shouting.

The sound of breaking air was heard again, but compared to before, this time the attackers included several more grooms from the caravan.

——Their clothes were disheveled, and some were even covered in dirt and grass roots, obviously they had fallen on the way here.

He also held a crossbow in his hand, squinted his eyes, and aimed and shot in the direction of the figure in the distance.

This time, three goblins fell.

But it was all thanks to the two professional shooters, because one of the arrows pierced through the chests of two green rats at the same time.

Visibility is too poor at night, and ordinary people with no combat experience are far inferior to the adventurers who often fight in the misty forest in terms of strength and accuracy.

Along with sharp screams, the sound of rapidly approaching footsteps became more and more obvious.

The adventurer in charge glanced at the cargo on the carriage behind him, hesitated for a moment, and then looked at the team leader "Jeff" beside him, who was holding a long-handled gun tightly in both hands.

Only then did he make up his mind, raised the one-handed sword in his hand high, and shouted to the people around him:
"Don't let these beasts get close to the convoy!" "Brothers, go!"

As one of the front-row members of the team, Xia Nan couldn't possibly lag behind the others in the upcoming battle.

As he took a step, he rushed forward.

At the same time, his eyes followed the rushing body and scanned the surroundings.

After confirming that there were no signs of ambush on either side and that there were teammates behind him to support and guard, I felt a little relieved.

Buzz--

In the air condensed by the high-pressure atmosphere, a high-pitched and passionate piano sound suddenly rang out.

It is not complicated, as if it is made up of high notes that are repeated over and over again.

But it seems to contain some kind of strange rhythm that makes people immersed in it unconsciously.

Muscle strength is not enhanced, nor is consciousness clearer.

Those notes were just like invisible phantoms in the air, seeping into the flesh, blood and bones through the pores.

It gives people the illusion that it is more conducive to fighting.

It was as if the body suddenly became lighter, and the strength accumulated in the arms became more abundant.

Xia Nan's body suddenly accelerated as he rushed forward.

The lute in the half-man's hand and his light and colorful outfit suddenly came to mind.

"travelling poet?"

The thought flashed through my mind.

In the blink of an eye, he had reached the front of the team.

Beside him, he could hear the roars of his teammates fighting and the sharp sounds of metal colliding.

Xia Nan focused and ignored the noise around him.

In front of,
Four goblins were waving sticks and rushing towards him with their fangs and claws bared!
The tip of the sword touched the ground.

After absorbing the dew drops, Xia Nan's physical fitness increased by 8 points, so he didn't need to worry about the impact of combat skills on his body functions.

Just step forward suddenly!

The leather boots immediately sank into the soft mud beneath the meadow.

The moist brown soil, while engulfing the heels, seemed to suddenly deliver the power coming from deep within the earth!

A powerful force rushed all the way from the soles of the feet, plundering and gathering the strength that was usually hidden deep in the flesh and blood, concentrating it in one place in an instant.

The sword is driven from the palm of the hand using a sophisticated method that has become part of muscle memory after countless practices.

【Spin Slash】

Whoosh——

Against the backdrop of the flames, the sharp iron-gray arc of light tore through the night.

Xia Nan only felt four slight stagnations coming from the sword in his hand.

Flesh and blood are like paper, and bones and tendons are like firewood.

The sharp sword blade was so powerful that the goblins didn't even have time to scream in pain before their lives were snatched away by the cold light.

The smelly and dirty blood gushed out like a fountain, carrying the broken limbs and internal organs, and threw them high into the air.

The scarlet blood stained on the sword flew onto the ground with the pouring power.

The strands of hair on his forehead swayed violently, and the smell of blood that rushed into his nose with his breath made Xia Nan frown slightly.

But what emerged in my heart was an inexplicable feeling of refreshment.

Just like a butcher skillfully cutting up the pork on the chopping board, the unspeakable pressure accumulated in his heart because of the bugbears, the petrified lizards, and even the giant snake that was already dead but still could not be broken.

With the death of the four green-skinned bastards, he was released in an instant.

At this moment, Xia Nan had only one thought in his mind:
"So cool!"
